SBugeli elained the procea, noting that a severance was first obtainied for residential use of th"propôrty. There was support for the pro- ecfrom the city of Oshawa, the e-Zon and Miniistry of Natural Resources, but that only two bids were received when the property was marketed.,' To obtai a better return on the rorty, it was recommen- ded rhrara plan of subdivision*be approved for the property. Even- tually the proposai was reviewed at an Ontariâ Municipal Board (0MB) hearinu last Decmber. Bugelli said an initiative began at the local municipal levÎel te, derail the authority's proposaI,» while «the concept and the cost of pursig it eleicited some negative innuendo in the local press.» He said the result was the miniter's recent decision not te &pItesosfrat that this entrepreneurial spirit is -being advocated by the province -* te seek new sources of funding - 1 and then thwarted by the minis- try when called upon te render a decision. «But the authority will survive and new ideas will continue te ('aster.» Bugelli aise mentioned that a «wait and see' position bas beenq adopted for Cratnberry Marsh -ini Whitby, aiong Lake Ontario.

The beach is cousidered yul- nerable, and there are mud flats in what was once- marsh ares, makinig the. area suitable for an invasion of purpie lossestrife. «Expert opim on on tbis situa- tion is te wait and see,» remar- ked Bugelli.
